I get why people can be pissed at Micay.
He is very principled and exact. But not false. Always calm even in the tweets around the split.
Its immature to label this as toxic.
Toxic means to me:
- Using drama intentionally to destroy a conversation/community/person
- Creating a personal cult around oneself to farm uninformed defenders.
- Scaring away productive but timid people by actual foul language and tasteless ingroup humour.
I dont agree with a bunch of Micays opinions. But when it comes to technical facts, I cant argue much because he is so exact with this. But I have never seen any emotional insults from him nor any emotional manipulation.
I have actually seen mozilla(-sphere) people attacking the reputation of people doimg valid criticisms on their bugtracker.
I dont accuse Foundation/Corp members directly. It could be "volunteers".
The new copperhead site reads like a marketing piece. All the tech explanation looks copypasted or typed while on coke John McAfee Style.
They state on their site (copperhead) that only 2 months after split with Daniel the rom got updated again.
That is not true. I was affected by the split and there was no update that early, while Daniel continued development.
My account has been created solely to defend Graphene here btw.
But this is my usual nick I use everywhere else.
I am a longtime passive reader.
The Copperhead site states that they support Zero Touch Provisioning of devices.
That involves Google and Vendor infra and as far as I know this cant enable installing custom roms from inside Google roms. I might be wrong there because I didnt dig that deep into MDM provisioning. But enough that it didnt seem anywhere open source friendly.
